Tuesdays

Butterfield 9 on 14th and F Streets NW (near Metro Center and McPherson metro stations) has started a weekly lemonade stand happy hour on Tuesdays from 5-7 with complimentary snacks at the bar. The lemonade-themed cocktails, each selling for $10, include Lemonade Sunset with brandy and creme de cassis, the Brandy Apple Lemonade Cooler with cherry brandy and sour apple liquor, and the Verde Lemontini with vodka, triple sec, and parsley.

Fridays

The chef at Acadiana at Mt Vernon Square, a Louisianan restaurant by the owners of TenPenh, DC Coast, and Ceiba, begins its weekly crawfish boils this Friday and will continue through the summer every Friday from 3:30-6:30. Crawfish is $13/pound, shrimp is $17/pound, and both come with fresh potatoes and corn on the cob. Add a bucket of ice-cold Abita Lights for $12 and you’ll be full, tipsy, and really satisfied before sunset.
